Detention with your worst enemy is not something anyone in the world should experience. All you get to do is glare for hours at someone or insult them or clean some stupid huge room.
"I hate you," Alexa Malfoy growled at me.
"It's not my fault we're here," I growled back.
Actually it kind of was but I wasn't going to admit it. I've pranked Alexa multiple times throughout the years. At first, we were kind of friendly and almost managed to be friends but then something changed. I don't know when or what happened but suddenly we were fighting all the time. She would act so perfect and stuff and blame me for everything while I just returned the favor. She seemed nice at first but once I saw the real Alexa Malfoy…well let's just say I prefer being blind.
"Yes it is," she responded. "You know it's your fault."
"We wouldn't be here if it weren't for your drama," I replied.
"What?" she glared at me. "You made my food explode arse!"
"I don't see the big deal," I said.
"I'm done talking," she said and sat down.
I watched her clean a few windows then finally took a seat exhausted. I continued cleaning and painting some old desks.
It hadn't even passed a month since my sixth year at Hogwarts started and I was already in detention. It wasn't entirely my fault I was just mad at Alexa for talking trash about me. I was walking towards the common room when I heard her talk with Denise and my two cousins (which were her best friends), Dominique and Lucy Weasley. She said I didn't have a brain and that she couldn't stand me. My cousins simply told her to ignore me but for some reason I felt mad at her for saying that I didn't have a brain so I decided to play a small prank on her.
"What's this?" I heard Alexa whisper. I turned to see what she was doing.
"What?" I asked her.
"The wall," she answered to my surprise. I was expecting an answer less friendly. "There is something behind the painting."
I walked towards her and kneeled next to her. There was a painting next to Alexa and around it the wall seemed…different? It almost seemed like it was moving. I looked at the painting. I didn't understand what it was. It just seemed like a child's drawing all I could see were lines.
We moved the painting and looked at the wall. It was the weirdest thing I had ever seen. I mean it looked like it was moving but at the same time it wasn't.
"I think I just lost my mind," I murmured.
"First time I say this but I agree with you," Alexa said.
I turned towards the painting and looked behind it.

"What the hell does that mean?" I asked Alexa.
"How the hell would I know moron?" she said rudely.
"Don't call me a moron," I complained.
"Oh sorry did I hurt your feelings?" she said sarcastically.
I was about to respond when the Head Boy of Gryffindor walked in, Matthew Warms. "Professor Primdell told me to tell you that you may leave."
I left the room and walked towards the common room when Alexa grabbed my arm. "You miss me already?" I mocked her.
"Not one bit," she replied. "I just need your help with something."
"Malfoy needs my help?" I smirked. "You do remember the last time you asked for my help we ended up k-"
"Yes I know!" she suddenly yelled. "It was disgusting but I need you to help me with something."
"You need to tell me what that something is," I told her.
"Well…your cousins told me about the map your uncle gave you and I need to borrow it," she said seriously. "I know you hate me and I hate you too but this is really important."
"What the hell is so important that you would ask for my help?" I wondered. I remembered last time she asked for my help. We were in our fourth year and she wanted to prank a Ravenclaw boy who just cheated on her. I wasn't planning on helping her but my cousins somehow convinced me. We placed a bunch of fireworks in the boy's bed. We managed to place the fireworks on his bed and left the room we were almost back to the room when we heard a teacher coming. We got inside the nearest room that's when Alexa noticed that I had a firework in my pocket which I forgot to put on the boy's bed. We heard the teacher stop behind the door and that's when Alexa kissed me. She made it seem like we were one of those snogging couple that would sneak out at night. We got one detention which seemed way better than them knowing we placed a bunch of fireworks in a boy's bed, which would've gotten us at least two weeks of detention.
"Potter you heard me?" Alexa flicked her fingers in front of me.
"Sorry, what was it?" I asked.
"I said that I need you to help me steal something from my brother," she said slowly this time as if I was some kind on retard.
"Just if you do something for me," I smiled.
She looked at me with hate in her eyes but agreed. "What do you want?"
"I want you to yell tomorrow at breakfast that I'm the hottest boy in school," I smiled evily.
"You're mad!"
"Fine then," I said. "Then no deal."
"I hate you Potter," she growled. "I'll do it but I need to sneak in today."
"How will I know you will do it?" I questioned her.
"You will just have to trust me," she answered.
"I'll sneak in with you," I told her. "Cause if you're expecting me to just let you borrow the Marauder's Map then you're mad."
"Meet me in the common room an hour past curfew," she said annoyed. "Be there Potter."
"It's a date," I joked.
She simply turned and left. I looked at her walk away from me then walked the opposite direction. I walked around Hogwarts for a few minutes until I found Jacob and Michael at the library. They were playing a game of Chess.
"So how did detention go?" Michael Pearce asked me when I took a seat next to him.
"Boring," I answered. "Just like your chess game."
"You had that much fun with Alexa?" Jacob teased. "I thought you two hated each other."
I simply rolled my eyes. We continued talking for a few minutes then my cousin Fred joined us. Fred is one of my many cousins in Hogwarts. He is a sixth year, one of my best friends and like me a very good prankster.
"Hey James," he said. "Jason was looking for you."
"What for?" I asked him.
"Why would Jason Wood be looking for you?" Jacob said sarcastically.
"Quidditch," I answered with a smile. "I guess I better get going."
I told them that I would see them later and headed towards the Quidditch Pitch. Jason would probably be there. I got there quick and found him cleaning some Quidditch material.
"Hey Jason," I waved. "I heard you were looking for me."
"Yeah," he replied. "I need you to take care of the tryouts tomorrow. My mom got very ill and McGonagall gave me permission to visit her so I won't be here this week so think you can handle it?"
"Of course," I told him.
"Hey Jason, you were looking for me?" yelled Alexa as she entered the pitch.
"I'm glad you're here Alexa," he told her. "You and James will be taking care of the tryouts. I know you two don't get along but just do me this small favor, aye?"
"Sure," we both said at the same time then glared at each other. It was so annoying to spend so much time with Alexa. I mean the girl was so full of pride and crap. She would always come up with some insult or say something to annoy me. I left the pitch and walked towards the castle.
And there you have it! Hope you liked it and review review cause well I don't know just tell me what you think! If I have any spelling or grammar errors just point them out in your review so I can fix them, thanks peeps!
